The food was fine and the setting is lovely (in common with many other restaurants in Barbados). Lacks the refinement you'd expect for the prices being charged. Cocktails served at the table and not in the bar. The starter was served and the wine poured before we'd finished our drinks. No nibbles or amusee bouche. The service was intrusive and... more

Visited twice in the space of two weeks. Beautiful location, fantastic food, attentive but not obtrusive service. The waiter from our first visit remembered us and came over to say hello. A must visit if you're on the island more

Good service, interesting menu, good and reasonably priced wine list. We went to this restaurant twice in five nights. Highly recommend. If you come back, they give you 10% off as a little incentive. more

This was our 2nd time at Tides and we were not disappointed. The food was excellent and the setting is romantic. Service is not fast-food so expect a leisurely evening .... after all, you are on holiday!! Hubby had scallops and I had an Exotic Thai Prawn Curry. The presentation (see pic) was fab! Not cheap but not too expensive... more

My wife and I dined at Tides Friday October 2, to sum it up overpriced and painfully slow service. We have dined here over the past 6 years and I have always thought that it was too expensive for the quality of food, but sometimes in life you need to make compromises, to save the remainder of your vacation. The... more
